What does a subluxation do to me?

Subluxations are distortions in your body that interfere with your internal communications from the brain to all body parts.
Dr. Seaman locates and corrects subluxations to improve health, speed up healing, and increase energy.
Here are some ways that subluxations damage your health and well-being:
1. Spine and structural distortions. They can express as one leg being shorter than the other; one hip or shoulder not being in line with the other; hips being unbalanced, scoliosis, etc. A distorted body causes weakness, fatigue and overall body malfunction (dis-ease). Dr. Seaman locates these distortions and corrects them with gentle, non-force techniques, custom orthotics, and rehabilitative therapy.

2. Nerve interference. Your brain, spinal cord and nerves cannot send information and energy at top efficiency. You may feel nothing different because only 10% of your nerves are delegated to pain but the body is working with decreased function.

3. Chemical changes. This can cause inflammation of joints, ligaments, discs and bones. This manifests itself as pain, weakness, lack of energy and disease. We also have many herbal and homeopathic remedies for your comfort, while your body heals. The adjustment itself speeds up healing because the body is in a more comfortable position.

4. Muscle stress. This can express as trigger points, pain, soreness, weakness, imbalance and fatigue. (Good thing we have a massage therapist trained in trigger point and deep tissue techniques at our office serving Chicago & Skokie!)

5. Internal organ dis-ease. Depending on which nerves are affected, your internal organs can be weakened by decreased nerve information, which can result in malfunction, tissue weakness and dis-ease.

Subluxations are like cavities in the teeth – slowly damaging your health. It’s best to locate and correct them early, before they cause serious health problems. If you’re interested in subluxation correction, contact a local chiropractor who comes with great feedback from their community.
